1If set A = {x ∈ ℕ : x is a prime factor of 30}, what is the total number of elements in the power set P(A)?

A.8

B.6

C.16

D.4

Explanation: The prime factors of 30 are 2, 3, and 5. Therefore, set A = {2, 3, 5}, which has n = 3 elements. The number of elements in the power set P(A) is given by the formula 2^n = 2^3 = 8.

2Given sets A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} and B = {2, 4, 6, 8}, what is the set difference A \ B (or A - B)?

A.{2, 4}

B.{1, 3, 5}

C.{6, 8}

D.{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8}

Explanation: The set difference A \ B consists of all elements that belong to set A but do not belong to set B. Removing the common elements {2, 4} from A leaves {1, 3, 5}.

3For the real-valued function f(x) = (2x + 1) / (x - 3), what is the domain of f(x) in the set of real numbers ℝ?

A.ℝ \ {-3}

B.ℝ \ {1/2}

C.ℝ \ {3}

D.ℝ \ {-1/2}

Explanation: A rational function is defined for all real numbers except where the denominator equals zero. Setting x - 3 = 0 gives x = 3. Thus, f(x) is undefined at x = 3, making the domain ℝ \ {3}.

4If x + 1/x = 4, what is the numerical value of x² + 1/x²?

A.16

B.18

C.12

D.14

Explanation: Using the algebraic identity (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b², we have (x + 1/x)² = x² + 2 + 1/x². Therefore, x² + 1/x² = (x + 1/x)² - 2 = 4² - 2 = 16 - 2 = 14.

5If a + b = 5 and ab = 6, what is the value of a³ + b³?

A.35

B.45

C.65

D.95

Explanation: Using the identity a³ + b³ = (a + b)³ - 3ab(a + b), we substitute the given values: a³ + b³ = (5)³ - 3(6)(5) = 125 - 90 = 35.

6Which of the following is the correct factorized form of the polynomial x⁴ + x² + 1?

A.(x² + 1)(x² - 1)

B.(x² + x + 1)(x² - x + 1)

C.(x² + x - 1)(x² - x + 1)

D.(x² + 2x + 1)(x² - 2x + 1)

Explanation: We can rewrite the expression by completing the square: x⁴ + x² + 1 = (x⁴ + 2x² + 1) - x² = (x² + 1)² - (x)² = (x² + 1 + x)(x² + 1 - x) = (x² + x + 1)(x² - x + 1).

7What is the discriminant of the quadratic equation 2x² - 5x + 2 = 0, and what does it indicate about the nature of the roots?

A.-9; roots are complex conjugates

B.17; roots are real, irrational, and unequal

C.9; roots are real, rational, and unequal

D.0; roots are real and equal

Explanation: For ax² + bx + c = 0, the discriminant D = b² - 4ac. Here, a = 2, b = -5, c = 2. D = (-5)² - 4(2)(2) = 25 - 16 = 9. Since D > 0 and 9 is a perfect square (3²), the roots are real, rational, and unequal.

8If α and β are the roots of the quadratic equation x² - 7x + 12 = 0, what is the value of α² + β²?

A.49

B.37

C.13

D.25

Explanation: By Vieta's formulas, the sum of roots α + β = 7 and the product αβ = 12. Using α² + β² = (α + β)² - 2αβ = (7)² - 2(12) = 49 - 24 = 25. (Directly, roots are 3 and 4; 3² + 4² = 9 + 16 = 25).

9What is the solution pair (x, y) for the simultaneous linear equations: 2x + 3y = 13 and x - y = -1?

A.x = 2, y = 3

B.x = 3, y = 2

C.x = 1, y = 4

D.x = 4, y = 1

Explanation: From the second equation, x = y - 1. Substituting into the first equation: 2(y - 1) + 3y = 13 => 2y - 2 + 3y = 13 => 5y = 15 => y = 3. Then x = 3 - 1 = 2. Thus, (x, y) = (2, 3).

10For what value of k will the quadratic equation x² + 6x + k = 0 have two equal real roots?

A.36

B.9

C.6

D.12

Explanation: A quadratic equation ax² + bx + c = 0 has equal roots when its discriminant D = b² - 4ac = 0. Here, 6² - 4(1)(k) = 0 => 36 - 4k = 0 => 4k = 36 => k = 9.

About the SSC Examination Exam

The Secondary School Certificate (SSC) examination is the national public examination taken by students in Bangladesh at the completion of grade 10. Administered by regional education boards under the National Curriculum and Textbook Board (NCTB) syllabus, the SSC is the foundational gateway to Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) studies, college admissions, and polytechnic vocational diploma programs. Official SSC question papers are set in Bangla (with English for the English papers) by the Education Boards; this bank is an English-language MCQ study aid, not the official papers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the grading system used for the SSC examination in Bangladesh?

The SSC examination uses a Grade Point Average (GPA) system on a 5.0 scale: 80-100 marks corresponds to A+ (GPA 5.0), 70-79 to A (GPA 4.0), 60-69 to A- (GPA 3.5), 50-59 to B (GPA 3.0), 40-49 to C (GPA 2.0), 33-39 to D (GPA 1.0), and 0-32 is an F (Fail, GPA 0.0).

What is the minimum passing score for each subject in the SSC exam?

Candidates must secure at least 33% marks separately in both the Multiple Choice Question (MCQ) section and the Creative Question (CQ) / written section in subjects with split testing.

How many regional education boards administer the SSC examination in Bangladesh?

There are 9 general education boards (Dhaka, Rajshahi, Cumilla, Jashore, Chattogram, Barishal, Sylhet, Dinajpur, and Mymensingh), along with the Bangladesh Madrasah Education Board (Dakhil exam) and the Bangladesh Technical Education Board (SSC Vocational).

Why is the SSC examination score critical for college admission?

Admission to prestigious higher secondary colleges (such as Notre Dame College, Holy Cross, Dhaka College, Rajuk Uttara Model College, Viqarunnisa Noon College, and government colleges) is strictly based on SSC GPA results and subject-wise total marks.

What subjects comprise the compulsory core curriculum for all SSC students?

Compulsory subjects for all streams include Bangla First & Second Paper, English First & Second Paper, General Mathematics, and Information & Communication Technology (ICT), supplemented by group-specific subjects (Science, Humanities, or Business Studies).
